This time mos ppl shall perish 💔🤞

That's what they always say.. no need to panic, damn

there we go again

They said that when it first started in 2020. Wake up Dr Kgosi and smell the coffee

We are definitely not panicking! SABC trying to create another pandemic, because they have no news!

That's is the reason why we ended up with so many cases for covid because our health system doesn't panic they want to wait until we reach ten thousand cases

And so the BS starts and then ramps up

Do you think we trust this government and everything in country hell NO!

We’ve seen this film before an we know how it ends

I hate this “there’s no need to panic” stance. Why must we not panic and who said we’re panicking? That’s what they said right before the entire world was under siege from a first of many waves of COVID.

Tell that Dr to voetsek

When its serious matters, you SABC dont release clil instead you do photographed in issues relate to Gov't weakness, BUT when its POLITICS MATTERS, Iyoooo! Thts one you can even tell story from 0-100%. ☝️🙄😭

Time for shit comrades to eat...
